Streamline Baseline Creation In A Collaborative Environment

Vulcan© supports a distributed model of baseline development in which multiple authors collaborate to produce high-quality content. Use Vulcan©’s change control, peer review and role-based permissions to keep all of your authors working from the same sheet of music. Avoid the mental overhead of managing your document versions manually.

Develop Automated Tests For Your Content

Vulcan© includes an InSpec testing framework integration to allow authors to write automated tests alongside their human-readable baselines. Vulcan© pre-populates the tests with metadata from the original baselines to keep your test profiles tightly bound to the guidance from which they were written.
